Bootcamp de Algoritmos: hands-on de programac¸ao

Bootcamps are, in general, an intensive study of certain content, with the aim of absorbing it, this approach having great appeal for its optimization of study time. This article aims to describe the “Algorithm Bootcamp” extension project conducted by the PET X group. This project aimed to improve the teaching of second-year Computer Science students, who had difficulties in absorbing Algorithm content during the period of remote classes, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project obtained positive feedback, evidenced by indicators from forms and questionnaires applied for evaluation and diagnostic purposes.Bootcamps são, em geral, um estudo intenso sobre determinado conteúdo, com o intuito de absorvê-lo, sendo tal didática altamente atrativa ao otimizar o tempo de estudo. O presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever o projeto de extensão "Bootcamp de Algoritmos'' realizado pelo grupo PET X. Este projeto teve como objetivo condicionar um melhor ensino aos alunos do segundo ano de Ciência da Computação, que apresentaram dificuldades em absorver o conteúdo de Algoritmos durante o período de aulas remotas, ocasionada pela pandemia do COVID-19. O projeto obteve feedbacks positivos, evidenciado por indicadores vindos de formulários e questionários aplicados com fins avaliativos e diagnósticos

PETCast Nossos Mestres - Aproximando os professores dos alunos em contexto pandêmico

Podcasts can be defined as personalized radio programs, which are made available over the internet through different media. This media has become very popular in Brazil in recent years, and, with that in mind, the PETComp group decided to create its own podcast starting with the series “Nossos Mestres”. Developed in a pandemic context, the project seeks to bring professors closer to students, showing their hobbies and a little bit of their personal lives. Podcasts were performed live via Discord and recordings were made available on YouTube and Spotify, with positive feedback regarding their goal and realization.Podcasts podem ser definidos como programas de rádios personalizados, que são disponibilizados através da internet através de diferentes meios de comunicação. Essa mídia se popularizou muito no Brasil nos últimos anos e, sabendo disso, o grupo PETComp decidiu criar seu podcast iniciando com a série "Nossos Mestres", que, em contexto pandêmico, busca aproximar os professores od curso de Ciência da Computação da Unioeste dos alunos, mostrando os hobbies e um pouco da vida pessoal dos docentes. Os podcasts foram realizados ao vivo via Discord e as gravações disponibilizadas no YouTube e Spotify, com feedbacks positivos em relação a seu objetivo e realização

The surgical safety checklist and patient outcomes after surgery: a prospective observational cohort study, systematic review and meta-analysis

© 2017 British Journal of Anaesthesia Background: The surgical safety checklist is widely used to improve the quality of perioperative care. However, clinicians continue to debate the clinical effectiveness of this tool. Methods: Prospective analysis of data from the International Surgical Outcomes Study (ISOS), an international observational study of elective in-patient surgery, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis of published literature. The exposure was surgical safety checklist use. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and the secondary outcome was postoperative complications. In the ISOS cohort, a multivariable multi-level generalized linear model was used to test associations. To further contextualise these findings, we included the results from the ISOS cohort in a meta-analysis. Results are reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: We included 44 814 patients from 497 hospitals in 27 countries in the ISOS analysis. There were 40 245 (89.8%) patients exposed to the checklist, whilst 7508 (16.8%) sustained ≥1 postoperative complications and 207 (0.5%) died before hospital discharge. Checklist exposure was associated with reduced mortality [odds ratio (OR) 0.49 (0.32–0.77); P\u3c0.01], but no difference in complication rates [OR 1.02 (0.88–1.19); P=0.75]. In a systematic review, we screened 3732 records and identified 11 eligible studies of 453 292 patients including the ISOS cohort. Checklist exposure was associated with both reduced postoperative mortality [OR 0.75 (0.62–0.92); P\u3c0.01; I2=87%] and reduced complication rates [OR 0.73 (0.61–0.88); P\u3c0.01; I2=89%). Conclusions: Patients exposed to a surgical safety checklist experience better postoperative outcomes, but this could simply reflect wider quality of care in hospitals where checklist use is routine
